[net.kids] TP time again

ajs@hpfcla.UUCP (04/01/84)

Remember the old toilet paper controversy of some months ago?
Now that our daughter is "mobile", I have observed two things:

1:  It doesn't matter which way you hang it; a determined curtain
    climber will always find a way to unroll it.

2:  It doesn't matter what the brand is; they are all delicious.

You know, we're having a somewhat unexpected TP result with Matthew
(he's approaching 17 months now).  When he unrolls it, he gets (mild)
negative feedback ("that was BAD, now roll it back up").  This has
only happened a couple of times.  When he rolls it back up or otherwise
rolls it in the harmless direction, he gets positive feedback ("GOOD boy!").
The result seems to be that he gets his curiosity out rolling it in the
good direction, and seems satisfied with that.

I have no idea whether this would work with another child, but it's
worked amazingly well in Matt's case.
